Monday Selection -
My 25 Dime selection is on Virginia over Syracuse. The current line on this game is the Cavaliers -6 in Vegas and offshore at 11:40 am eastern time. Be sure to shop around for the best price available.
NOTE: As of 1:40 pm EST the line is now -5 1/2.
ANALYSIS
They just can't cover versus the elite of the elite on their home floor.
Catching this same +5 1/2 number against Duke two Saturday's ago, they led by 5 at the half in complete control of the game.
The 2nd half they wilted, their best player couldn't make a shot, they missed critical free throws and it all added up to a non covering loss 75-65.
Don't look now but the Orange are now 1-10 ATS last 11 home games when facing a team with a winning road % of greater than .600.
And here comes the 26-2 Virginia Cavaliers.
Since suffering their 2nd loss of the year at home to Duke 81-71, the Cavs have won 6 in a row SU and 4 in a row ATS.
Included in this current winning streak are a 6-point road win at Virginia Tech and a 12 point road win at Louisville.
I'm sorry folks, the clear cut right side of this game is Virginia.
Where Syracuse does everything wrong in close games versus great teams, the Cavs do everything right.
With a win tonight and then Saturday over Louisville at home, the Cavs can win the ACC regular season championship with a tad bit of help.
They will need North Carolina at home to beat Duke on Saturday and I believe the Tar Heels will do just that.
Look for Virginia to be focused and laser sharp against this Orange team that like I said, isn't the smartest team I have ever seen.
